(1st thread and post, just wanted to share this).
Hello, and welcome to my tutorial on how to install Sense 4.0 on your android. Like the title says, these are all apps from the play store, and will require some tweaking, which I will take you through. Let's get started
Step 1: Installing your apps.
First, we will need some apps that will contain the lockscreen, interface, and some Sense-Like widgets. Here is a list of the apps you need to install:
Agile Lock free
Go Launcher EX
HTC Sense 4.0 (One X) Go Theme
Sense V2 Flip Clock & Weather
Android Pro Widgets
TV Show Favs
Once you've done this, press the Home key, and select Go Launcher EX as your home replacement, not Agile Lock.
Step 2: Lockscreen
Open up the Agile Lock app, and press either Yes or Never Show. Then press the power button. Next, press the settings button, and press continue. Then, press "Top Style Setting", and uncheck "Display weather widget". Go back, and uncheck screen lock sounds, unlock vibrate, and display music control.
Step 3: Theme
Press the menu key, and go to themes. Scroll over to the installed page, and apply the sense 4.0 theme.
Step 4: Preferences
Press the menu key again, but this time press preferences. Check infinite scrolling. Click visual settings. Scroll over to "Icons" and select the icon size as "Default Size". Then scroll over to "Indicator" and click Screen Indicator. Press Hide Indicator. Then go back. Press "Appearance Settings". Scroll over to App Drawer. Select the Grid Size as "Custom Grids" and make it 5x4. Don't select the 5x4 preset, as it doesn't work correctly.
Step 5: Setting Up The Homescreens
For your main homescreen, set a 4x2 Sense clock. Select your location (It might find it for you), and then uncheck display 24 hour time, and check am/pm. Next, get rid of all the preset apps. You can set up any apps you want, but I personally set a default LTEvo setup, (Contacts, Play Store, Google Apps Folder w/ Gmail, Talk, Maps, G+, and Voicemail). Same goes for your dock (LTEvo = Phone, Email, Apps, Messaging, Camera).
Keep in mind, this is just an LTEvo setup, you can fit your own fancy.
Scroll to the left once. For this, set a 4x4 People Widget.
Scroll left again. Set a 4x4 Calender widget.
Once again, to the left, I personally just set a google play music widget, and resized it to a 4x4, but you can just put whatever you want for a music widget.
Go back to the right once from the homescreen. Set a google search widget.
To the right again, set a bookmarks widget
On the last right page, set a 4x4 TV Show Favs widget. It will bring up a login. If for any reason you have an account already, use it. Otherwise, make one. Now if you don't make one, the widget won't show. Make another one, but with a tv show stack widget. If you back out again, it will be clear, which won't look good. If you make an account, it will be black, so that is preferable.
That's it. You will have a sense 4.0 like experience. I hope you like it. And remember it's OK to customize it!
Love cars? & looking for something to make your homescreen look attractive and unique? If yes, then you're in right place! Style your phone with CARZ de EXOTICA look and make your friends jealous of you. Download this cool theme now and make the anticipation for CARZ even BIGGER!
* Requirements
This theme
UCCW App (available for free on Play Store)
Any launcher that supports 6x4 Homescreen Grid (Nova Launcher Recommended)
* Instructions
1. Install UCCW from Play Store. [THIS IS IMPORTANT: You need to install this app before downloading this theme or otherwise it won't work. If you have already installed the theme then just reinstall it again after downloading the app]
2. Download this theme and and open it. Now tap on Install Skin button.
3. Use the 6X4 Desktop Grid and hide the dock under launcher settings (This theme can work without these settings but the layout may be different)
4. After you're done with installation, double tap on the Homescreen and select UCCW Widget and select the required widget as indicated by their name.
5. Repeat the above step till you get Homescreen as shown in picture.
6. (Optional) Select the Cube Scroll effect under launcher settings for 3D effect. For Nova Launcher - Nova Settings>Desktop>Scroll Effect
For adding App Drawer or Search icon on homescreen, use the same method as you used to add widgets. For e.g Nova Launcher Users - Long press on homescreen>Nova Action>Select the shortcut you want to add.
* Instructions for adding your own app shortcuts in widgets
If you want to edit or add custom apps in widgets then follow these steps -
1. Open UCCW app and select Hotspot (Lock Widget) from the menu option.
2. Turn "OFF" the Hotspots.
3. Go to desktop and tap the button on widget you want to edit.
4. Select the app you want from the appropriate Hotspots.
5. After you have done editing, make sure you turn "ON" the Hotspot again to apply the changes.
If the weather is not showing your correct location on widget then you can change the weather location by going into UCCW settings.
FAQ
Q - There are still some gaps between widgets, what to do?
A - Make sure your desktop grid is 6x4 and the Width and Height margin is set to none in launcher settings.
Q - Why can't I open apps by clicking on widgets?
A - Make sure the hotspot is on in UCCW. To change the settings, open UCCW app, touch the menu key and make sure you select the hotspot (lock widgets) to 'ON' mode.

Question and answers
FAQ
Q. Lot of apps don't get categories after the first install or after a restore
A. After the first install, JINA has to go online to search categories for installed apps. Right now this step is not automatic and should be manually started using the "Retrieve app categories" function on the sidebar menu
Q. How can i see app details?
A. From listview you can activate the app detail function either by using the 3 dot button on the app row or by double tapping on the app row. From the gridview (thumbnails) you can double tap the app icon.

Actually, one about UI....currently i am not a big fan of that Circle obscuring my view...how about moving that switch down, left or down right where there is still space.
Also...in regular keyboard mode, You have a line where U can see the search phrase, but not in T9...U might make that the same for consistencys sake...not sure also If it is needed, since we allready see what we are typing in realtime among results...but could be an extra option?....
Anyhow...that circle with X/magnifying glass could be put in the same row with other icons...IMHO

Yes i agree, me too i feel that in T9 search mode the bottom toolbar is a bit "poor" but what kind of feedback should i give? numbers?
p.s. stay tuned, desktop folders for categories are almost finished
Added Desktop Folders for categories and better App Detail management on tablet layout.
Hmm not many of my apps get a category .. and before I'd assign them myself I'd rather use the Categories I already have from "Folder Organizer" app.
Also I do find that the letterbar is often not responsive and I keep intiating actions I don't want.
About the source filter .. no multiselection is possible and there is no simple reset .. I don't think this is really usable at the moment.
Just some feedback
I meant this…

First, thanks for the feedback, that's why this thread exists
You don't get categories neither if you try to refresh the category in the app detail? If so, can you please tell me a couple of apps that don't get a category?

You are right, i didn't notice there is a conflict with the category sliding tab on the right, i have to fix it.

Ok right again, i'll add an option to reset the source filter. Right now there is only a way to reset all filters by tapping on the action bar title.
